Think he was the best player Everton ever had(in my lifetime anyway). Could argue Lukaku but Arteta was everything to Everton during that time.

OCK Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I always get surprised when I'm reminded that Arteta was Rangers and Everton before Arsenal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar to Merino in a lot of ways but did it better and longer than him. Never came across as the spoilt arse that he does now....too much time lurking around city getting g everything his own way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 My favourite recent Everton player is Leighton Baines. Darwin Nunez again man. 2 goals from 0.3 xG vs. NUFC. 2 goals from 6.5 xG vs. everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 The Lescott, Baines, Cahill, Arteta team was a good one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 He was definitely not like that as a player. Think he’s learned all these antics from Pep. The short press conferences, the talking in extremes, the way he jolts out of interviews the moment they’re over as if he has something extremely important to do and you’ve just wasted his time.

Usually Scottish football that you hear these mental clubs names playing in the cups. Burntisland Shipyard, for eg Weird. Reading that, they were the team that came to mind for me and only because of a random thing in the mid 90s, think their's was the only game on one day or something. I've already forogtten that team that beat Aberdeen last year. Edited November 5, 2023 by Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great player though and took a wicked free kick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know Everton were winning things in the 80s and had players like Andy Gray and Tony Cottee but in my lifetime, they’ve been a middle of the road club.

Also Arteta was the final piece of the jigsaw that saw Everton solidified as the fifth-sixth place team of that era.

Weirdly enough I’ve only ever supported one club in my life and it’s Newcastle. For my mates sake I hope they get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
